Today’s episode is truly unique. I interviewed my two senior philosophy classes about what they found most meaningful about our course this semester: The Wisdom of Chaos - which uses chaos science as a metaphor for self-cultivation.

Chaos theory reveals that instead of resisting life’s uncertainties and randomness, we should embrace the creative potential they offer.
